VisitSPC Launches New Fall Campaign

As presented during yesterday's TDC meeting, Visit St. Pete-Clearwater will be launching a new fall campaign, targeting the northeast traveler and our drive market travelers in Florida.  The "Fall Colors" campaign will encourage visitors to experience the St. Pete-Clearwater area by featuring the vibrant colors and hues of our destination and redefining what the color palette of a fall getaway should be. While the beauty of the leaves changing colors is short lived, the year-round kaleidoscope of our destination stands out in the fall and shines year round.
